A stochastic SIRS modeling of transport-related infection with three types of noises

Abdulwasea Alkhazzan, Jungang Wang, Yufeng Nie, Hasib Khan, Jehad Alzabut

Summary: This research develops and analyzes a new Susceptible-Infected-Recovered Susceptible (SIRS) model that considers transport-related infection, media coverage, and three types of noise to examine the role of transport in disease transmission. The model's global solution is checked using Lyapunov functions, and it is found that the infection either dies out or stays put beyond a certain point. The analytical results are validated through numerical analysis and simulation of various factors' effects on the model's dynamics.

Gene Co-Expression Analysis Identified Preserved and Survival-Related Modules in Severe Blunt Trauma, Burns, Sepsis, and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome

Jingrui Huo, Lei Wang, Yi Tian, Wenjie Sun, Guoan Zhang, Yan Zhang, Ying Liu, Jingjing Zhang, Xiaohui Yang, Yingfu Liu

Summary: This study compared gene co-expression modules in trauma, burns, sepsis, and SIRS using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and identified key modules and hub genes related to disease prognosis and drug discovery. BCL11B and CEACAM6 were found to be promising biomarkers for assessing sepsis risk.

Repurposing crizotinib to target RIPK1-dependent cell death

Yajie Yu, Min Li, Shufang Fu, Xiaoyan He, Xinqian Hu, Guofeng Zhu, Jia Wang, Xiaoling You, Yan Mou, Zhi Ye, Jun Wei, Yunhong Zha

Summary: A high-throughput drug screen of FDA-approved compounds revealed that crizotinib can be used as an inhibitor of RIPK1-dependent cell death. Crizotinib directly inhibits RIPK1 kinase activity and rescues TNF-alpha-induced death in mice with systemic inflammatory response syndrome. These findings are expected to accelerate drug development for RIPK1-spectrum disorders.

Summary: The study showed that in patients with cirrhosis, the development of stages 2 or 3 AKI may be associated with advanced liver disease and second infection, leading to decreased 30-day transplant-free survival. Preventing AKI progression in these patients could potentially improve their outcomes.

Epidemic threshold of a COVID-19 model with gaussian white noise and semi-Markov switching

Qianqian Sun, Dejun Tan, Shuwen Zhang

Summary: In this study, the impacts of Gaussian white noise and semi-Markovian switching on the propagation dynamics of COVID-19 were investigated using a stochastic SIQR model. It was found that the fate of COVID-19 is determined by the basic reproduction number R0, and the effect of quarantine rate on R0 is more significant than transmission rate. The presence of Gaussian white noise reduces R0 but poses challenges for prediction and control, and the conditional holding time distribution significantly affects the kinetics of COVID-19. Semi-Markov switching and Gaussian white noise support irregular recurrence of COVID-19 outbreaks.

Evaluation of sTREM1 and suPAR Biomarkers as Diagnostic and Prognostic Predictors in Sepsis Patients

Asmaa Nasr El-Din, Abdelhady Ragab Abdel-Gawad, Wesam Abdelgalil, Nahed F. Fahmy

Summary: This study demonstrated the diagnostic value of sTREM1 in sepsis and the predictive role of suPAR in prognosis. sTREM1 can serve as a good indicator for diagnosing sepsis in ICU patients, while suPAR can predict poor prognosis and low survival rates at 7 days post admission.

Scaffold hopping derived novel benzoxazepinone RIPK1 inhibitors as anti-necroptosis agents

Jiaqin Tang, Yanran Wu, Wenli Zhao, Zhuo Qu, Jianqiang Yu, Zhizhong Wang, Ying Shi

Summary: In this study, novel benzoxazepinone derivatives were synthesized and compound o1 exhibited the most potent antinecroptosis activity and the strongest binding affinity to the target site. Molecular docking analyses revealed that o1 fully occupied the protein pocket and formed hydrogen bonds with the amino acid residue Asp156. Moreover, o1 specifically inhibited necroptosis by blocking the phosphorylation of RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL pathway and showed dose-dependent improvements in the survival rate of mice with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) compared to GSKMODIFIER LETTER PRIME772.

The evaluation of SIRS status with hemato-biochemical indices in bitches affected from pyometra and the Usefulness of these indices as a potential diagnostic tool

Murat Onur Yazlik, Ipek Mutluer, Mehmet Yildirim, Ufuk Kaya, Hatice Esra Colakoglu, Mehmet Rifat Vural

Summary: The aims of this study were to assess the usability of hemato-biochemical indices in determining the severity of inflammation caused by pyometra and to establish their practical usage as diagnostic biomarkers in pyometra cases. The study found that certain blood indices such as NLR, MLR, and NPAR could serve as rapid, accessible, and cost-effective markers for evaluating the SIRS status and diagnosis in dogs with pyometra.

The role of mtDAMPs in the trauma-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome

Jingjing Ye, Xiaodan Hu, Zhiwei Wang, Rui Li, Lebin Gan, Mengwei Zhang, Tianbing Wang

Summary: SIRS is an exaggerated defense response caused by infectious or non-infectious stressors, which can lead to uncontrolled inflammation. Trauma-induced SIRS and MODS are major factors contributing to poor prognosis in trauma patients. Unlike infection-induced SIRS, trauma-induced SIRS is mainly mediated by DAMPs, including mtDAMPs. Released after trauma-induced mitochondrial injury, mtDAMPs can activate inflammatory response through multiple signaling pathways. This review summarizes the role and mechanism of mtDAMPs in the occurrence and development of trauma-induced SIRS.

An Addition of U0126 Protecting Heart Grafts From Prolonged Cold Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Heart Transplantation: A New Preservation Strategy

Hao Zheng, Yale Su, Cuilin Zhu, Douglas Quan, Anton Skaro, Vivian McAlister, James C. Lacefield, Jifu Jiang, Peng Xue, Yefu Wang, Xiufen Zheng

Summary: Inhibition of ERK signaling with U0126 effectively attenuates prolonged cold IRI in heart transplantation. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the role of U0126 in reducing cell death, reactive oxygen species generation, and mitochondrial membrane potential loss. Preservation of donor hearts with U0126-supplemented solution improves graft function and reduces IRI.

Circular RNA Foxo3 in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury in heart transplantation: A new regulator and target

Yale Su, Cuilin Zhu, Bowen Wang, Hao Zheng, Vivian McAlister, James C. Lacefield, Douglas Quan, Tina Mele, Adam Greasley, Kexiang Liu, Xiufen Zheng

Summary: circFoxo3 plays a significant role in I/R injury during heart transplantation, and knockdown of circFoxo3 can reduce the damage and improve heart graft function through interaction with Foxo3 proteins. CircRNA is a new type of molecular regulator and a potential target for preventing I/R injury in heart transplantation.

Autoantibodies to LG3 are associated with poor long-term survival after liver retransplantation

Qingyong Xu, Vivian C. McAlister, Andrew A. House, Michele Molinari, Steve Leckie, Adriana Zeevi

Summary: Autoantibodies, such as LG3-A and AT1R-AA, are associated with poor outcomes after liver retransplantation. Patients who are double-positive for LG3-A and DSA or LG3-A and AT1R-AA have synergistic deleterious effects on regraft survival. Screening for these antibodies can help identify patients at higher risk for liver transplantation.

Chronic stress physically spares but functionally impairs innate-like invariant T cells

Patrick T. Rudak, Joshua Choi, Katie M. Parkins, Kelly L. Summers, Dwayne N. Jackson, Paula J. Foster, Anton Skaro, Ken Leslie, Vivian C. McAlister, Vijay K. Kuchroo, Wataru Inoue, Olivier Lantz, S. M. Mansour Haeryfar

Summary: Long-term psychological stress inhibits T helper 1 (T(H)1) and T(H)2-type responses by invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, without causing cell death. Stress triggers a split inflammatory signature in activated iNKT cells, mediated by glucocorticoid receptor signaling, and impairs their ability to enhance cytotoxicity against lymphoma or reduce metastatic melanoma burden. Stress also affects mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells' responses, but can be corrected with habituation to predictable stressors.

Managing junctional haemorrhage in the combat environment

Shane A. Smith, V. C. McAlister, L. Dubois, A. Beckett, R. Hilsden

Summary: Tactical combat casualty care and the use of extremity tourniquets have been effective in saving lives during combat, but junctional injuries present a challenge. Junctional tourniquets have emerged as a potential solution, providing a supplementary measure for persistent bleeding or hypotension in combat casualties. Surgeons need protocols for handling patients with junctional tourniquets, and evidence-based algorithms support their implementation as part of tactical combat casualty care.
